My Lord,

1st. October, 1931.

I have the honour to inform your Lordship that

I have received an application from Mr. I.A. Levis,

a British subject registered at this Consulate-

General, for the registration of the births of his

seven daughters born in Shanghai, Esther, Rachel,

Suzanne, Violet inifred, Constance and Evelyn, more

than seven years having elapsed since the births

took place.

2.

with the exception of Constance and Evelyn all

these children were registered at this Consulate-

General as British subjects in 1923, and Mr. Levis

states that he thought such registration obviated

the need for effecting birth registration.

3. The Statutory Declaration which I have the

honour to transmit herewith sets forth the grounds

on which the claim to British nationality is based,

and it also includes the name of a further daughter,

Ruth, concerning whose birth the applicant has been

advised to communicate with the llongkong authorities

with a view to effecting registration there.

3. I also have the honour to enclose the Jewish

certificate relating to the marriage of the parents

and an English translation thereof, together with

copies of the registrations by the

His Majesty's Principal Secretary

of state for Foreign Affairs, Foreign Office,

London.
